YESTERDAY marked the 36th anniversary of what has become known as the battle of Orgreave. Its commemoration this year will be somewhat different to those gone by, but it will rightfully be held once again.
The Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign has done so much to keep the pressure up on the government for an independent public inquiry into the incident.
For many, Orgreave has become the embodiment of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike in which the full force of the state, under the direction of the prime minister Margaret Thatcher, was turned on ordinary men and women.
